There is a belief called football

Chapter 318 Cologne Curse
After the national match day, players returned to the team one after another, and no one was injured. This made Klopp breathe a sigh of relief. With the increasing number of European football games, every time the FIFA virus will hit many giants hard.

So it is not an exaggeration to say that every time a player returns to the national team, the head coach of the club will definitely suffer from insomnia during those two weeks. The conflict between the club and the National Football Association is also becoming more and more intense. The method adopted by FIFA is to give the club a certain amount of financial compensation, but that money is not even enough to send beggars.

Now there are only a few old injuries in the Dortmund team. The back injury of the midfielder Gundogan has not improved. The other is the injured "Royce" and "Kuba" in the Ruhr Derby.

Klopp took the players to fly to the away game "Cologne" to prepare for the eighth round of the Bundesliga. In the middle of next week, Dortmund has the task of the Champions League. Every time after the national team match day, it is a double match a week for clubs who want to play in the Champions League. The time is very tight.

*****
Cologne is the fourth largest city in Germany, after Berlin, Munich and Hamburg.

The city has a long history, and the most famous is the "Cologne Cathedral". Just like people who come to BJ must visit the Forbidden City, people who travel to Cologne must also visit the "Cologne Cathedral".

But the Dortmund team didn't have time to visit the city of Cologne. After arriving in Cologne, the whole team stayed in a hotel chartered by the club for fully enclosed training.

Because of Li Qiao's popularity, many Asian media came to Cologne and wanted to interview Li Qiao. Of course, this was impossible, and the club declined all interview requests.

Why is Klopp so nervous in an ordinary league game?
The reason is also very simple, that is, Dortmund has two natural enemies in the Bundesliga, not Schalke and Bayern, but Hamburg and Cologne. I don't know why, Dortmund always has an average record in the face of these two teams.

I think there is such a thing as a "nemesis" on the football field. For example, Bayern, which was in full swing back then, was afraid of one team-Stuttgart.

It is because of the poor historical results of being a guest at "Cologne", so this time Klopp puts as much emphasis on a league game as the Champions League.

Another reason is of course Li Qiao. After the Ruhr Derby, the German media has been very excited. The last time they were so excited was when Robben joined the Bundesliga in 2009. At that time, even Robben wearing a pair of red long johns would be hyped as news, which shows what makes people famous.

So dozens of news media in Germany are all dispatched, trying to get some news about Li Qiao, preferably a scandal, but the Dortmund club is too experienced, they know what these media are thinking now?For example, take Ronaldo as an example. The media doesn't care whether he can score goals on the weekend, but they are very concerned about who his current girlfriend is and who his son's mother is.

Preventing Li Qiao from having too much contact with the media is also a way for the club to protect Li Qiao.

In this game, Klopp returned to Dortmund's best form of play in 2013, that is, the 433 formation. The reason why it became 4231 this season is because after "Lewandowski" left, the front "Trident" Klopp was always dissatisfied.

There are 4 people in the back line, Klopp has not changed, and the 3 people in the midfield are "Gross Kreutz", "Bender" and "Durm".

The front offensive trident is "Aubameyang", "Joe Lee" and "Mkhitaryan". Of course, if "Royce" comes back, this trident becomes "Aubameyang", "Joe Lee" and "Royce".

Although Dortmund made full preparations, after the start of the game, it was the opponent who scored first. In the first 10 minutes, German player "Vogt" scored an advanced goal in Cologne.

But this time Dortmund was not in a hurry. After conceding the ball, the team played in a leisurely manner within 10 minutes. With the trident, Dortmund controlled the ball in the frontcourt very calmly.

At 20 minutes into the game, Li Qiao attracted two defensive players in the middle. Under the situation of being completely surrounded, he gave the ball to "Mkhitaryan", and "Mkhitaryan" inserted a low ball from the right into the penalty area. ! ! !
Dortmund equalized the score.

After equalizing the score, Dortmund went crazy. The trident in the front field played a mercury-like attack. In the end, Li Qiao scored two more goals and staged a hat-trick in two consecutive games. In addition, Aubameyang also scored a goal. Dortmund scored four goals in a row in the away game and won 4-1.

Two consecutive victories are easy, but Dortmund's No. 9 scored two consecutive games. This is very rare. After the game, Dortmund's scouting system was praised by the whole of Germany.

Even the British "442" magazine, which has always been stubborn, changed its words and said that "Li Qiao is really good", but it is still unwilling to admit that Li Qiao is one of the best players in Europe now, because the Chinese team eliminated England in the World Cup, and the English people are still brooding.

Klopp was very humorous in the interview after the game-"When the team lost, I said a word, which was all my responsibility. Now that I have won, I only have one sentence, which is all my credit."

"Is there no Li Qiao's?"the reporter asked.

Klopp shrugged: "Don't forget, I found him."

Uncle Zha is such a person, he never cares about other people’s opinions. When he left Mainz, the first club that approached him was Bayern Munich, but he was dressed like a “hippie”. In the end, forget it, but Klopp still went his own way, without changing his intentions.

In Germany, Klopp is like "Mourinho", a very controversial figure. On the one hand, he has a high level, and on the other hand, his big mouth often brings him trouble. One of his most famous photos is the scene where he angrily pushed the referee because he was dissatisfied with the referee.

After the game, Klopp temporarily changed his plan and did not take an unusual route. He was planning to fly to Turkey to participate in the away game against "Galatasaray". After winning the game, Klopp decided to take a bus to Turkey.

On the bus, Li Qiao and his teammates chatted while admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window. Klopp asked everyone to sing, and he set an example by himself. He sang a song first, and then "Hummels".

When it was Li Qiao's turn, Li Qiao originally wanted to shirk it, because Li Qiao was not very good at singing, but everyone refused and had to sing. Li Qiao sang a few lines of Wang Leehom's "Sun and Moon in My Heart". Everyone had never heard Chinese songs, so it felt very novel. The Greek "Papa" speaks Chinese very well.

*****
Galatasaray means fire in Turkish. Anyone who has watched the Champions League knows that the home court of the Turkish team is very crazy. Galatasaray's home court is also known as the devil's home court.

But in front of Dortmund, which is in full swing, this time "Galatasaray" can't go crazy. Klopp has the same starting lineup as he played against Cologne. In the end, Dortmund swept the opponent 4-0 in the away game. Li Qiao scored a goal, Hummels scored a goal, substitute Shinji Kagawa scored a goal, and Aubameyang scored another goal.

In the other game of the group match, Arsenal defeated Anderlecht 2-0, ranking second in the group. Dortmund won all three games and ranked first in the group. There is no problem in qualifying.

*****
The 3 games made Dortmund fans completely forget "Lewandowski". Now they only have Li Qiao in their eyes, but in the past few years, after Dortmund has become popular, the media will immediately associate him with Bayern Munich. No, the good media dug up a piece of news that no one paid attention to before-that is, there is a 4000 million euro liquidated damages clause in the contract between Dortmund and Li Qiao.

4000 million?This number suddenly makes people excited. Bayern has used the liquidated damages loophole to forcefully take away players twice in recent years. The first time was 4000 million to buy "Martinez" from "Athletic Bilbao".

The other time, of course, was 3700 million, which was close to 4000 million euros to buy Dortmund's Gotze. At that time, Dortmund manager "Zorke" also denounced Bayern as a robber in the media.

Now it's another 4000 million. The media's suggestion is purely disgusting. If Li Qiao keeps performing so well, Dortmund will definitely not be able to keep it next summer. 4000 million is nothing to Bayern.

However, although these reports are sensational, they are all nonsense. It is impossible for Dortmund to care, otherwise the club manager will not be able to live, but then a piece of news is like a blockbuster, pushing the Dortmund club to the forefront.
